How to: Building a portfolio (from a student’s perspective) My name is JP Ragan I would like to inform you on building a professional portfolio. I had a opportunity to build
a professional portfolio while I was attending ANC. You might ask yourself why I need to build a portfolio. There are
several reasons to build a portfolio. This Portfolio will tell others that view your portfolio in the future your professional
story. It is a way of you keeping up with your accomplishments. I was able to build this portfolio and once ANC viewed
my portfolio, I was able to receive six college hours for my accomplishments. This was equivalent to two classes that I
did not have to attend. I was able to use this to help speed the process of getting the needed hours to obtain my
Associate of Applied Science in Advanced Manufacturing.
Hopefully I will be able to use this information in the future to help me receive promotions at my current
employer and or other opportunities elsewhere. Once you have, the professional portfolio built you will need to use it
like a toolbox. Every time you take a training or receive a certificate, you will need to add a copy to you Professional
portfolio to keep it up to date. You will be amazed how much you are able to accomplish in your career.

Other information to help build a portfolio:
The key to building any portfolio is documentation. Keep records of conferences, workshops, meetings, trainings, jobs,
work experience, letters of recommendation, awards, and other achievements. This will allow you to catalog your
experience for evaluation towards credit at an institution. Keep certificates, training agendas, meeting minutes, or other
supporting documentation as you see fit. Documentation will need to be directly tied into the course you’re seeking
credit for.
Examples of documentation (not limited to):
Certificates of Training (including hours and topics documented)
Current Resume
Letters from supervisors/employers someone who can document work experience
Course/Workshop agendas
Job descriptions
Self/Peer/Supervisor evaluations
Committee/volunteer minutes
